Glascott’s
Occasionally live musical performances are held here at Glascott’s, Italian crooners belting out Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin standards are typical. A restaurant is connected to the bar, so you can bring your food back to the bar to eat, drink and enjoy the music. The vintage bar has carved wood decorations throughout. The place is nothing too glamorous, but that is the way many locals trying to stay away from the meat-market joints along Halsted like it.
